Asked By:FlyToTheMoonMan in England, United Kingdom

Hi there, I have had rhinoplasty completed in March 2020 in Istanbul. I went there because my nose was slightly bulbous, if I remember my turbinates have been corrected and the dip in my columella to be corrected which has failed in my opinion, possibly due to there still being some swelling in my nose. I am considering a revision but only to get the wing or ala rim to be lowered so my nostrils is less seen. Is this revision possible and damaging to do in regards to bruising and recovery time?
